Sloth outings!

We had a great time this week playing the first two Sloth Racket gigs. The Gateshead gig went really well and it was fantastic to play at the Sage. What a brilliant venue! Huge thanks to Jazz North East for putting us on as part of their excellent ‘Women Make Music’ series. Rachel Musson, Hannah Marshall and Julie Kjaer played an inspirational set on the other side of the bill too, plus earlier in the day I co-ran a free improvisation workshop with Rachel, which was good fun and something I’d definitely like to do more of in the future.

Tom Ward took this shot of our set…

Last night we played the London ‘leg’ at LUME. It was a lovely night! Very nice crowd and great to play the music out again. Another Ward’s-eye view of the gig (Seth is almost totally hidden though!):

I’m extremely pleased with how both gigs went, and we’re all keen to do more with the band, so watch this space…
